6) Want an NHL trade to remember? On April 3, 2013, the Washington Capitals traded Filip Forsberg to Nashville for Martin Erat and Michael Latta. Forsberg might win the Calder Trophy. End of trade analysis.7) If Wally Buono and I had our way, the CFL would be a nine-team league that would send the two best teams to the Grey Cup. Yes, that might mean an end to the Grey Cup tradition of East vs. West. That might mean a Grey Cup in Vancouver featuring teams from Calgary and Edmonton. Who would have a problem with that? With Rogers Centre attendance figures in hand, Im waiting to hear that someone in Toronto would have a problem with that.8) After the first week of the NBA season, who stands out? Golden States Klay Thompson, thats who. He just might be worth the four-year, $70 million rookie contract extension that raised eyebrows when it made him the Warriors highest-paid player. You are reminded that Stephen Curry plays for the Warriors.9) As Ernie Banks would say "Lets play three". Do you wonder why NHL coaches routinely use two goalies when theyre faced with back-to-back games? Jason LaBarberas weekend would suggest its not necessary. LaBarbera played on Friday and Saturday for the AHLs Norfolk Admirals and was recalled by Anaheim to serve as John Gibsons backup on Sunday against Colorado. Gibson was hurt in the warmup. LaBarbera played his third game in three nights and the Ducks won 3-2.10) Wouldnt it be something if the Ottawa Redblacks one-point win over the Toronto Argos in the Redblacks first-ever home game should wind up costing the Argos a playoff spot? Thats possible, but this is definite--the Argos would be out if they managed to lose to Ottawa a second time in Ottawas last game of an otherwise awful first season.11) Okay to re-tweet this? "Hard to beat the Giants winning formula--get a lead and turn it over to the closer for the final 15 outs".12) Who saw this coming? Ben Roethlisberger has thrown 12 touchdown passes in his last two games. He had 10 in the Pittsburgh Steelers first seven games.13) And what do you make of this? The Montreal Canadiens are tied for first place in the NHL East and their opponents have outscored them 35-31.14) Remember when each and every NHL suspension was a big story? Now, they are routinely mentioned and generally ignored, seldom debated and simply taken for granted as part of what goes on in the NHL.15) I guess it makes sense that Paul Molitor is the manager of the Minnesota Twins--he was born there, got his 3,000th hit there, finished his career there and coached there. But wasnt it always a good idea that the MVP of the 1993 World Series and one of the Blue Jays most popular players, and people (though he only spent two years with them) manage in Toronto?16) Should Jon Cornish have played in a game that meant nothing in the standings to the Calgary Stampeders? It allowed him to record his third straight 1,000-yard season, but he left the game with another concussion. By the time they host the Western final, the Stampeders will have gone four weeks without playing a game that mattered, so its understandable that they need to stay sharp. More importantly, tho, Cornish needs to stay healthy.17) If this sort of thing appeals to you, ESPNs MLB Future Power Rankings puts the Toronto Blue Jays at #18 when assessing the chances for success of all 30 teams over the next five years. If thats depressing, consider that the outlook for the San Francisco Giants entering the 2014 season was worse--San Francisco was #19. #1 this time? Andrew Friedmans LA Dodgers.18) In NASCAR news, what could be worse than Jeff Gordon and Brad Keselowski getting out of their cars and fighting? Sure-- staying inside their cars and fighting.19) From this seasons daly returns, which was the best NHL free-agent signing? a) Ryan Miller by the Vancouver Canucks b) Jonas Hiller by the Calgary Flames c) Radim Vrbata by the Vancouver Canucks?20) If Mayor John Tory is serious about reducing Torontos traffic congestion, why doesnt he tell the Leafs to leave Stuart Percy with one team or the other? παπουτσια NMD .

Adidas NMD R2 ανδρικα .com) - NFL owners have unanimously approved the sale of the Buffalo Bills.KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Detroit Tigers reliever Bruce Rondon needs surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right elbow and will be sidelined for the entire season. A candidate to become Detroits eighth-inning setup man, Rondon felt discomfort Monday after pitching a scoreless inning against Washington the previous day. Detroit general manager Dave Dombrowski said Rondon was examined Wednesday by Dr. James Andrews, and an MRI revealed the tear. Dombrowski said the 23-year-old will have surgery next week. "He just came in one day and said he was a little tender," Dombrowski said Friday. "At that point, we figured he should see a doctor. Before that, he hadnt complained of any problems at all." Rondon becomes the latest pitcher hurt during spring training and headed to Tommy John surgery, following Atlantas Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy, and Oaklands Jarrod Parker. Arizonas Patrick Corbin also may need the procedure. Rondon was 1-2 with a 3.45 ERA as a rookie last year, striking out 30 in 28 2-3 iinnings, and he had a 1.dddddddddddd29 ERA in seven spring training games this year. Dombrowski said the Tigers, who signed Joba Chamberlain during the off-season, will fill Rondons spot internally. "We feel we have a lot of depth there," Dombrowski said. "Some guys will have to step up and I think they will." Rondon was competing with Chamberlain for the eighth-inning role leading to closer Joe Nathan. Now Al Alburquerque will likely get some of those opportunities, and expanded roles may go to Evan Reed and left-handers Ian Krol and Phil Coke. The Tigers have been beset by injuries. Shortstop Jose Iglesias could miss the entire season because of stress fractures in both legs; Andy Dirks, slated to platoon in left field, will miss the first two months after back surgery. Asked how he was holding up, first-year manager Brad Ausmus joked, "I just bought my first pack of Marlboros" — a reference to former manager Jim Leylands smoking habit. ' ' '
